BASILICA OF ALL NATIONS

AGONY OF CHRIST IN GETHSEMANE

JERUSALEM

HOLY LAND

The favourite garden of Jesus, just opposite the golden gate in the temple that should welcome the Messiah. When will he come? Will it be in the night of suffering, painful, with blood drops in his face? The trees are told to remember that moment 2000 years ago.

"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. ”

- Matthew 26,38

First visit in the middle of winter, early January days, snow fell down over the night and the place was like I would have never imagined it. The trees were white and the early winter dawn let only the minimum of sunshine inside. The second visit in the beginning of May was a complete opposite, a beautiful hot day in the middle of the spring and the garden was green and full of light.
